Been on a traditional stiletto/leaf-spring auto kick lately. From top to bottom: 11" Walt's Classic, 10" A.G.A Campolin picklock, Spydie/Vallotton auto conversion, and another 10" A.G.A.

Useful? Oh, hail no. Practical? Wadda you? A wiseguy? But they sure are fun to play with.

@'br4dz- Your's is the first Eschaton I've seen anyone post. How do you like it? I have CF version on the way.

I like it a lot for what it is. Obviously it's not very practical, but it's damn smooth. My only dislike about the design itself is how sharp the edges are on one of the blade grinds. The entire knife is nicely chamfered and without sharp edges....except for the blade grind where there would be a thumb stud (if there was one), it was intentionally left extremely sharp, I suppose to give an easy secondary opening method, but I highly dislike it and will probably take sandpaper to it to knock down the edge.
 
Thanks, 'br4dz-. Yeah, one of the You Tube reviewers mentioned that stepped thumb-shelf grind, but he didn't complain about its sharpness. Nice to know that the action is good. WE usually nails that.
 
I took this photo for another thread but, the Kershaw Launch 7 in the pic is my latest.
